[Intro - NF:] You and I - we've been through a lot together. And I look back and I just uh, I appreciate all the times that we had together, you know? I remember just going down in my room and, you know down, and trying to deal with some things and you have always been there for that. Always, it's me and you
[Verse 1:] You and I been best friends ever since I was a young kid Everything we did, where has time went? Got a lot of years coming up ahead of us and ever since we met I knew we'd get somewhere But the fact is I ain't really, I ain't really know where I don't really know how either But I can feel the goosebumps my skin, writin' I've been waiting for the moment You and I gon' make it happen Lot of people thinking we ain't gon' make it rapping I ain't got a problem with 'em though that don't even matter We ain't looking for the people tryna say that we the baddest No never like that Came a long way never did it for the money We ever make it big, I'm a give it to the family Looking back now everything is lookin' funny You and I in the room writing Up late when the moon strikes us We don't care if they do like us Writing song for the haters we ain't even got yet Free-styling somebody turn the mic up Talking bout things we don't really understand Talking bout things we don't really comprehend Me and you tryna get it we ain't quitting 'til the end Now I'm standing on stage tryna give it to the fans Ahh!
[Interlude:] \"We took that karaoke machine from my room And ah, we, you... We put it up to my CD player and played instrumentals Man... We've come a long way, A long way\"
[Verse 2:] I made a lot of mistakes You've been there for the whole thing Help me with the drama Rapping in the car outside daily We don't care if it's the winter We don't care if it's the summer I remember writing raps with the curse words I just wanna hear it, seems like everybody does it Did it for awhile wasn't into all the cussin' Trying to find who I was Being everything I wasn't Real life Yeah! Gotta lot of anger You know when I'm mad Put it all over the pages And wrote into raps, Said that we could be amazing If I gave us a chance Now I'm lookin round like, \"yeah, look at where we at\" Look at where we at now we ain't made it yet But they can hear us in the background comin Some are gonna hate it, some are gonna love it I'm gonna put it in his hands and let God do the judgin, yeah Remember me and you always had you in the backpack We're here to begin it hoping someday you and I can say We made it and we did it You ain't nuthin but a notepad to me, Who you kiddin? I'm just runnin out of space I'll be back in a minute Turn the page homie
[Spoken:] You know what's crazy is, this just started as something that was an escape for us, you know, and now I look around and, there's a lot of people going through the same things that we've been through. Now this music we write is actually making an impact it's crazy
